Sin oficio ni beneficio
I Vitelloni (1953) - Ending Scene
I have lived a good life.
It is largely based on a way of living that many fail
to appreciate, as it lacks the glitz of our daily vanity fair.
Despite my bruising encounters with reality, and
despite my minor struggles to fit in socially, my life’s journey has been a
pleasant one.
The life I have lived appeals even to those who have
ceased to live theirs. It is like that jacket you wouldn’t wear yourself, yet
cannot help but acknowledge it fits perfectly on someone else —whereas your own
attire is, for life, depersonalized by the dictates of industrial fashion.
